"Border Force seized Konkel's truck carrying 28 pallets of SKIMS clothing on the ferry from the Netherlands into the Port of Harwich in Essex. After Border Force x-rayed the truck, they discovered 90 packages of cocaine, almost 200 pounds (that's American pounds), reportedly valued at around 7 million pounds (that's British pounds) or US$9.4 million. Konkel denied knowledge of the drugs, but eventually fessed up to being paid 4,500 euros to mule."
"A lorry driver has been jailed for smuggling more than £7m worth of cocaine hidden on a vehicle carrying a consignment of Kim Kardashian's Skims underwear and clothing. The cocaine smuggler went by the name of Jakub Jan Konkel, which isn't an alias but the real name of a real Polish guy smuggling drugs in Europe! According to the UK's National Crime Agency, Border Force seized Konkel's truck carrying 28 pallets of SKIMS clothing."
"Don't expect a James Bond-level car chase through the streets of a cobblestone town-Kronkel was caught pretty much immediately. With the help of her shape-wear brand SKIMS, British authorities arrested a smuggler concealing 200 pounds of cocaine in a shipment across the North Sea and sentenced him to 13 years in prison. Everyone say thank you, Kim!"
"Should I be worried there's coke in my thong? Great question, but no. The thongs were untouched, and the smugglers instead concealed the drugs inside a secret compartment in the back doors of the truck. Phew!"
